SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": The parliament of the Czech Republic overrides a
presidential veto to establish limited legal recognition for same gender
couples; Australia will recognize lesbigay couples to encourage skilled migrant
workers to move there, while the Netherlands creates an "entrance exam" for
prospective immigrants to be sure they accept the country's liberal queer-inclusive
social milieu, but Dutch Muslim leaders object; a leading Iraqi Shiite
cleric issues a fatwa calling for all gays and lesbians to be killed in the "worst,
most severe way," while the head of New York City's annual St. Patrick's Day
Parade defends the continuing ban on participation by the Irish Lesbian and
Gay Organization by comparing them to prostitutes, Nazis and Klansmen; a seeming
ly-minor change by the Bush administration in language governing security
clearance eligibility for gays and lesbians creates a major stir; the virulently
anti-queer American Family Association reinstates its boycott of the Ford
Motor Company because the auto giant refuses to stop advertising in lesbigay
media; and a Massachusetts gay couple recuperates at home from their world-first
husband-to-husband organ transplant (written this week by LUCIA CHAPPELLE and
GREG GORDON, with thanks to REX WOCKNER and GRAHAM UNDERHILL, and reported by
SHERI LUNN and CHARLS HALL) [10:50] + Poppy Champlin billboard [:10] . . .

SEGMENT #2 - When you're a gay, lesbian, bi or trans teenager and your
parents are forcing you into some kind of supposed "reparative therapy," the sense
of utter helplessness can be overwhelming. Most queer or supportive adults
feel pretty helpless, too, when they hear the horror stories about 5-year-old
children being subjected to phony "cures," about teens being dragged off to
questionable camps, about young people committing suicide because they fail to
change. And according to a recent report issued by the National Gay and Lesbian
Task Force Policy Institute, the danger is growing as the "ex-gay" movement
increasingly targets youth. But the advocacy group LAMBDA LEGAL is proving that
young "reparative therapy" victims -- and their families -- are not helpless
under the law. Lambda's DEPUTY LEGAL DIRECTOR HAYLEY GORENBERG discusses some
of the strategies they could pursue (with brief intro music, "Teen Freak," by
DAVID BROWN) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5:50

SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by iconic singer/songwriter JANIS IAN [:10] + "If
You Wanna Be Happy," a queer take on an oldie but goodie in an unreleased
track by ESTROGEN [2:15] + POPPY CHAMPLIN is a breakthrough stand-up comic who's
appeared with big name stars like Ray Romano, Bill Maher, Brett Butler, and
Richard Beltzer. An alumna of Chicago's Second City comedy group, Champlin is
wowing audiences with what critics call her high-power energy and New York
savvy. "This Way Out" correspondent CHRIS CECILE ["Queer Radio,"
CJAM-FM/Windsor-Detroit] got behind the stage act to find out more about the funny and the
serious sides of this rising star (includes a clip from her live stand-up act)
